    Was waiting for you to go back and re score the Rosa. You raved then gave
    it 88 pts whereas the dissapointing Andrew Will got 87. One point
    difference?

    QOTD: Family – forever and always

    Longtime lurker out of the woodwork here! Congrats Gary to you and your family. I know how much family means to you and you must be excited to help shape your daughter much in the same way your parents did for you and AJ!

    On the Italian tip: I have a few lovely 2001 Brunellos in my cellar (Franco Pacenti Canalicchio Riserva, Augostina Pieri and Cerbaia Riserva – which you lauded in Ep#65). I know these wines are built to last, but I am so tempted to crack one this summer. Do you think it would be too early or should I wait until the day I become a proud papa?

    ………as she most likely have about 3 months max to live,
    because of her pancreas cancer….

    Gary. . . what a beautiful little girl! Congratulations. You thought you knew love before but not like the love of a child, as you probably already realize.

    Enjoy the time with her, it does go fast.

    QOTD: What else. . . my wife and 3 kids!

    Congratulations, Gary! Next week she’ll be twenty-three, so SLOW DOWN and ENJOY her babyhood! Sorry I missed you when I flew all the way to Jersey at the end of May. I’ll try not to miss you when you finally get to the Rogue Valley of Oregon. My sunshine: Two boys, Liam and Owen, eleven and seven, who were babies YESTERDAY!!! So, really, slow down and gaze at her A LOT! Say no to some gigs, lock the door and sing to her. Blessings on your family, -Kate

    Gary, your “sunshine” is beautiful. Congratulations. Mine would have to be disc golf. None today though, stuck inside, on my day off, trapped by KC’s rockin’ thunderstorms. No sign of letting up. Going to pop a bottle of Muga ’05 and enjoy. Cheers!

  • Lars Christensen

    Congratulations, Gary. It’s great to have you back after your minor baby “vacation”. You rarely see the Barbera grape outside Italy but I definitely prefer the true Barberas from Italy.

    Great episode, Gary. I’ve been the stay-at-home parent for the last nine months (our daughter is now 16-months-old) and still trying to be a photographer full-time and it’s essentially two completely full-time jobs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Enjoy!

    Awesomely cool show from the Vayner-nest. 🙂

    Seriously, interesting show about Italian varietals in the USA. I’ve had some with varying degrees of success, but nothing as good as the better Italian wines. Still, I admire the effort.

    QOTD: My wife, Jane.

    By the way, congratulations from one of the Vayniacs who has been with since Day 1. Its been a great ride. Thanks for everything you do for us and, wow, Misha is a gorgeous little girl. You are very lucky and I wish you the very best.
